Music Overshadows Heartfelt Moments in Elan’s Film Star

Director Elan‘s latest film ‘Star‘ is a heartfelt coming-of-age story that revolves around the struggles of an aspiring actor named Kavin. The movie, although filled with genuine emotions and shining performances, falls short due to the overpowering music composition by Yuvan Shankar Raja.

Throughout the narrative, the usage of heavy background scores tends to overshadow the genuine moments and character developments in the film. Despite the strong performances, the melodramatic music often dictates the viewer’s emotional response, detracting from the intended impact of the scenes.

‘Star’ follows the journey of Kavin, a talented artist who faces various challenges in his pursuit of stardom. However, the obstacles he encounters are more reflective of life’s uncertainties rather than the typical struggles faced by aspiring actors. The film attempts to weave romantic subplots involving Aaditi Pohankar and Preity Mukhundhan, but these storylines often veer into cliches and lack originality.

One of the standout aspects of ‘Star’ is the beautiful portrayal of the relationship between Kavin and his father, played by Lal. The touching moments shared between father and son, coupled with the poignant advice and sacrifices made, add depth to the film and resonate with viewers.

Despite its shortcomings, ‘Star’ manages to shine through brief moments of sincerity and the genuine performances of its cast. The film is currently playing in theaters, offering audiences a glimpse into the bittersweet journey of an aspiring actor.
